Rested but a-fibbing

Morning
Mom had a pretty good night. She had a little pain and got some pain meds so the crazy talk started up again. But the next couple hours have been quiet. I moved her chair so she can look out into the sunshine and blue sky which seems to lift her spirits. She is watching Joel Osteen and she is coming back to life. Nurse asst. giving her a bath in her chair. She is asking when she will get a real bath, but she is still too weak. She actually walked out ino the hallway - maybe 10 feet!!!

Afternoon
Lunch was tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich, soup ended up in her lap and she had only 1/2 the sandwich....they are talking about putting the feeding tube back in since she is not getting enough nutrition by eating. Her heart has been fibrillating a lot, mostly on the low side. Nurse seems worried they have not found the right balance of meds to adjust the a-fib. She will be moving to an acute rehab when released...not sure when, but the assessment is tomorrow. If her pain would subside, she could flush the pain meds and have more clarity of mind.
